“Rinse Hold” button

• The laundry remains in the last rinse water without being spun: discoloration of the laundry and additional creasing are prevented.

• This additional option is particularly recommended for the programme “Synthetics” or “Delicates”.

• This additional function is particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later time.

Note: The programme has reached the “Rinse Hold” when the “Rinse Hold” button light flashes.

Terminate the “Rinse Hold” option:

• If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the programme selector knob to “Drain/ Cancel” and press the “Start/Pause” button again.

• An additional rinse cycle is carried out.

• This additional optio n is particu larly suitable for areas with very soft water, for washing baby linen and helping people with detergent allergies.

“Speed Reduction“ button

• A maximum spin speed is assigned to each programme.

• Press the button to set another speed for the spin cycle.

• If the spin speed “0” is selected, the final spin is cancelled. The water is only drained out.

“Easy Ironing” button

• T o lessen creasing, th e water quantity is increased and the clothes are spun very gently at reduced power. This makes your laundry significantly damper at the end of the programme.

“Eco Wash” button
